Imperial USA IMPTH1114KM-AL-RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Imperial USA TH1114KM Pitco style offset pivot work on my aluminum storefront door?
The TH1114KM is a 3/4 inch offset pivot built for aluminum doors and frames, and it's rated for 83 inch aluminum doors weighing up to 125 lbs. It's advised for 1/8 inch recessed door applications, and offset pivots like this also suit flush face frame installations. If your door is taller than 83 inches, add intermediate pivots to carry the extra leaf.
2) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Pitco style offset pivot?
Handing matters. The TH1114KM is sold as a handed set, left hand or right hand, so pick the hand of the door it goes on. Stand outside the opening: if the door hinges on your left and swings away, it's left hand. Getting this wrong means the pivot won't sit in the prep.
3) My aluminum door is 90 inches tall. Is one set of TH1114KM offset pivots enough?
No. The TH1114KM set covers 83 inch aluminum doors; above that height you want intermediate pivots added to share the load. ZenSupply carries intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames in the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12 and IP-22 Series, and the IP-12 is non-handed if you'd rather not track hand on the intermediate.
4) I have a 1/8 inch recessed Arch or Vistawall door, not a Pitco. Is there a pivot set for that?
The TH1114KM is cut to the Pitco prep, so it isn't the part for an Arch or Vistawall opening. ZenSupply stocks the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set for those doors. Match the pivot to the door manufacturer's prep rather than to the recess depth alone.
5) What is the closest offset pivot to the Imperial USA TH1114KM for an aluminum door with a 1/8 inch recessed application?
The Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series pivot set is the nearest peer: it is a 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set, standard duty, matching the recessed aluminum-door application the TH1114KM 3/4 inch offset Pitco style pivot is advised for. Both are offset pivots for aluminum doors and frames rather than mortise hinges. Confirm the door manufacturer's frame prep before ordering either, since the TH1114KM is cut for Pitco style frames and the IL-OP-10 for Arch and Vistawall.
6) Is an intermediate pivot a substitute for the TH1114KM offset pivot?
No - they do different jobs on the same door. The TH1114KM is a top and bottom offset pivot set where the entire door weight rests on the floor mounted pivot; an intermediate pivot mounts partway up the jamb to share load on a tall leaf. The Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12 and IP-22 Series intermediate pivots are made for aluminum doors and frames, and the IP-12 Series is non handed. On doors over 83 inches tall an intermediate pivot is added alongside the offset set, not in place of it.
7) The bottom pivot on a heavy wood door failed - can the TH1114KM replace it?
No. The TH1114KM is built for aluminum doors and frames at up to 125 lbs. For a heavy wood door, the Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set is recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds, and the Hager 497 is a heavy-duty full mortise bottom pivot hinge with ball bearing in forged bronze. Both mortise into the door, which a hollow aluminum stile will not accept.
8) What intermediate pivot pairs with a 3/4 inch offset door on a tall aluminum opening?
Match the offset. The Dorma 75220 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot, heavy duty and fire rated, so it keeps the same 3/4 inch offset geometry the TH1114KM sets up on the door edge. The Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 inch offset brass right hand intermediate pivot in satin chrome, heavy duty and fire rated - a different offset, so it belongs on a 1-1/2 inch offset hung door rather than a 3/4 inch one. For aluminum frames, the Kaba Ilco IP-10 and IP-22 Series intermediate pivots are made for that condition.
9) Does the TH1114KM pivot keep the door from sagging over time?
The whole weight of the door rests on the floor-mounted pivot, which is what stops the leaf from dropping the way a top-hung arrangement can. A full race ball bearing carries that load, so the door keeps swinging smoothly instead of binding at the strike as it wears. For a property manager replacing sagging doors across a building, that floor-borne load path is the reason to stay with an offset pivot rather than switching to hinges.
10) Can these pivots be used on an exterior entrance door?
Yes, the Pitco style offset pivots are weather resistant and made for exterior doors, which is the normal application on aluminum storefront entrances. They're a commercial-duty part, not a residential one.
11) Can someone pull the door off by removing the pivot from outside?
No. The Pitco style offset pivot is tamper proof in the locked position while still being easy to pull and replace when the door is unlocked, and it gives a higher level of security when used with an Adams Rite cam. That combination is what a locksmith wants on a glass storefront entrance where the pivot is reachable.
12) How many pivots come in the TH1114KM package, and do I need anything else?
One set per package, covering the offset pivot points for a single door. On an 83 inch aluminum door that's the complete hanging hardware; go taller and you add intermediate pivots as a separate order.
13) What is the difference between an offset pivot and an intermediate pivot on an aluminum door?
An offset pivot like the TH1114KM is the top and bottom hanging point, offset 3/4 inch, and it carries the door's weight on the floor-mounted bottom unit. An intermediate pivot doesn't carry the load; it sits between them to steady a tall leaf. That's why the TH1114KM handles an 83 inch door on its own and taller doors need intermediates such as the Kaba Ilco IP-10 or IP-22 Series added to it.
14) What is the difference between the TH1114KM and the Dormakaba 75120 top pivot?
Both are 3/4 inch offset. The TH1114KM is a Pitco style set sold one set per package, covering the door with a floor mounted bottom pivot and rated to 125 lbs on an 83 inch aluminum door. The Dormakaba 75120 is a top pivot only, full mortise, standard duty and fire rated - it mortises into the door and frame rather than surface mounting to a Pitco style aluminum frame, and it pairs with a separate bottom pivot or floor closer.
15) Do I need to order the TH1114KM left hand and right hand separately, and are there non handed pivots?
The TH1114KM offset pivot is handed - it comes as left handed and right handed, each in aluminum and duronodic finish, so the swing has to be confirmed per opening. Among aluminum door pivots, the Kaba Ilco IP-12 Series intermediate pivot is non handed, which is why it is often stocked in quantity for mixed-swing buildings. Offset pivot sets like the TH1114KM still need handing called out on each line of the order.
16) Will a reinforcing pivot fix a sagging door instead of the TH1114KM offset pivot set?
They address it differently. The TH1114KM carries the entire door weight on a floor mounted pivot to prevent sagging, and it is a complete offset pivot set for an aluminum door. The Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges in a zinc plated finish - it is added to a butt hinged door to back up existing hinges, fits a 1-3/4 inch door, and is not fire rated. A door already hung on offset pivots takes a pivot set, not a hinge reinforcer.
17) Which offset pivot holds up on an exterior storefront door in a coastal or high traffic location?
The TH1114KM Pitco style offset pivot is weather resistant for exterior doors and runs on a full race ball bearing design. If the material matters more for the environment, the Ives 7215F is a stainless steel 3/4 inch offset pivot set, heavy duty, and the Ives 7215 and 7212 are heavy-duty brass offset pivot sets. All three are heavy duty; the TH1114KM stays in the aluminum and duronodic finishes that match a storefront frame.
18) What finishes does the Imperial USA TH1114KM offset pivot come in?
Two finishes, aluminum and duronodic, and both are available in either hand. Duronodic is the dark bronze anodized tone used on a lot of older storefront, so match it to the existing frame rather than the door hardware.
19) Can I adjust the door height after the TH1114KM pivots are installed?
There's 1/8 inch of vertical adjustment in the pivot, enough to fine tune the gap at the head or clear a threshold after the frame is set. Beyond that you're shimming or re-prepping.
